THE SEATTLE STAR > Wependent +41 Fi jot Prem. Published hy The Sine Publishion Fintered at Roatiin, Wash pastor A lady making a long journey, observed upon the train a man whose genial good-nature cast a glow of ce warmth : ers as though he had always known them, and the journey was ended he had chatted with ev- on the train. Meeting the man later, the lady ‘said: “I have noticed how you speak to everybody, You don’t seem to treat any person as a stranger.” ly dear madam,” he said, “this world is too small to strangers.” Now, there’s a spirit that might put all dark things to Considering the common fortune and the common _ destiny of mankind, all of us plying the same loom of ~ fate, all of us walking the same little road between the ‘cradle and the dreamless dust, with the same hopes ‘and fears, regrets and longings, what a sad perversion of life’s purpose it seems to withhold heart and hand from one another. What a spiritual waste in that silence which we build up between man and man. ’ Having to walk the same road, why not walk hand in hand? Business Genius in Our Time Tf you have brains and money, you can get rich in a few 's wtihout work. If you have brains enough, you do not need Mbch money to get rich—that is, money of your own. In that ase, you carve off a slice of timber or mineral from the’ na Pon's loaf of natural resources, sell some bonds to build a rail Poad with other people's money, then let the people flow in and @ive high values to what was yesterday a waste, and proceed fo collect the “unearned increment.” There is a good timber district in Oklahoma, Enterpris- men managed to transfer its ownership to themselves, then built a little jim crow railroad 24 miles from a main line, erected > @ sawmill, laid out a town, invited the people to flow in and iy lots. The people bought $68,000 worth of lots in the first three days. A pretty good starter, for there are more lots to sell and more days to sell ‘em, Yes, and more people to make them More valuable by going there to work and to live. There are nations that do not part with title to their nat ural resources, nor let private parties build railroads, nor even mit real estate profits to go to those who do not earn them jut the United States is not that kind of a nation—not yet. A young boy about 16 years of age was standing on the "steps of the state capitol in a certain Western state one day | He was a crack athlete, a fine fellow, and very popular. A dozen of his friends came by and called out, “Come along with u } we're going to have a ball game.” “I can't do it fellow he replied; “I'm going to spend the afternoon with my father.” #Oh, come with us and have a good time.” “I can have more - fun going with my father,” he answered One man who heard the remark suddenly saw a glimpse of hhow a very large part of the “boy problem” might be solved The man whose boy would rather spend an afternoon with “him than to go with his boy friends, because it is “more fun” to be with father, may sicep comfortably at night and look his fellow man in the face in the daytime. He has given the best Hostage possible to the future. The boy who grows up under such a tutelage is pretty certain to t a clean and worthy Citizen. He ts safeguarded from a thousand temptations.

His policy, as announced, Done of the most difficult that any statesman or patriot could "undertake—to give real democracy to Mexico. Political lib- erty, popular education and the compulsory subdivision of great estates by means of taxation is the program announced, If President Madero can walk safely between privilege on one hand and ignorance on the other, and actually “deliver the goods,” he will win high and enduring renown.
